This system current HD configuration is:

/dev/hda  DOS   
/dev/hdb  Me trusty Linux system

I never boot into windows anymore so I want to grab the hdisk space for
Linux.  The current partition tables for the system are as follows:

  Device     Boot  Start  End   Blocks    ID  System
  /dev/hda1  *     1      518   2088544+  6   FAT16
  /dev/hda2        519    874   1435392   1b  Hidden Win95 FAT32

  Device     Boot  Start  End   Blocks    ID  System
  /dev/hdb1        1      50    201568+   83  Linux
  /dev/hdb2        51     875  3326400    5   Extended
  /dev/hdb5        51     396  1395040+   83  Linux
  /dev/hdb6        397    545   600736+   83  Linux
  /dev/hdb7        546    644   399136+   83  Linux
  /dev/hdb8        645    743   399136+   83  Linux
  /dev/hdb9        744    842   399136+   83  Linux
  /dev/hdb10       843    874   128992+   82  Linux Swap

Output of df -h

  Filesystem  Size  Used  Avail  Use%  Mounted on
  /dev/hdb1   191M   99M    86M   55%  /
  /dev/hdb6   568M  131M   408M   24%  /home
  /dev/hdb8   377M  1.2M   357M    0%  /tmp

  /dev/hdb9   377M  130M   228M   36%  /var

So my question is...  What would be the best way to convert and utilize the
windows hdisk for my Linux system?  Opinions appreciated!
